Helllo,

I was wondering if picoclusters can be used for cloud hosting/storage servers

Many thanks

I needed boards for industrial use, we are rolling out a simple monitoring services, decided to use boards from Pine community. 

We have one questions, Pine64 LTS vs Rock64 4 GB LTS? Which one to choose? I see that Pine64 LTS has mentioned one year warrentee which is a good sign, but same is not applicable for Rock64.

Can you please recommend one?

Hello,

Recently, i changed my internet connection to an optical fiber solution. For my internet connection, i use this wifi adapter bought with my rock64. I expected to get an important increase of the bandwidth, but the results are really bad; the maximum speed is: ~8 MBits for download, ~11MBits for upload althought my connections allows much more (on other computers i get at least 10 times more with wifi). I also tested this wifi adapter on a windows pc, and the performances are bad too.

Some one can explain this, or can recommand another usb2 wifi adapter?

regards

Setup Android 8.1 on Emmc. When I boot all I get is the rock64 splash screen.
Any help please?

The signal strength is pretty weak so I would like to add an antenna.  I thought that the connector was u.fl so I ordered this:

However, when I pulled the old wires off of the module and tried to connect the new one, the connector is too big.  Is the connector on the WIFI/BT module not u.fl?  What do I need to get to connect to this board?

Thank you

Hi. I got tired of this insane 1500000 baud/s speed, Rockchip made default for UART. I can't use UART for debug/trace normally - no utilities work with this. minicom corrupts output, screen doesn't configure at all. I can't attach the board directly to my machine, because the adapter I can use with it, doesn't work with such speed, I need to attach it through a pine64 board, and there, the mentioned utilities get their pants dirty with this speed too... I was told how to make uboot run on 115200 baud/s. this is by setting the environment variable baudrate (and storing it for the permanent effect, I checked it, rock64 works fine with this speed, let's hope saveenv will work too), but what do I need to do for linux to make it use 115200 baud/s permanently? Does anybody know? I think, this might be useful not only for me, because this poor choice of the speed gives a lot of troubles for others too. many USB-UART adapters don't support it. Just don't tell, I need to compile the kernel! I hope it involves some dancing with DT? I am not a linux guy.
And yet, why not switch to this normal speed for builds? Literally everything works just fine with 115200 baud/s. This would eliminate so much of frustration.

Will this https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro6...wer-supply
deliver sufficient power to run the board with a NVMe drive attached to this https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro6...rface-card plugged into the board?

Howdy,

I run a few rock64 with these cables https://www.pine64.org/?product=1-meter-...ower-cable
Does the H 3.5mm OD/1.35mm ID barrel also fit a ROCKPro64 board power connector?

Cheers.

Hi everyone,

I'm using Pine64 LTS for a project. According to AXP803 datasheet  Page37 & 38, the charge LED indicator can be set to Mode A or Mode B. Does anyone know how to change this setting via sysfs, or other interface(I2c, Uart) ?

Hi all.
I've just finished my review video about the Pine H64 model B.
I compare it with the Orange Pi 3, and with the Rock64.

I like the board a lot. It's very well designed, and is sold for a great price.
It does still need a lot of work to make the software better. Luckily there's the Sunxi community who's supporting the H6 with a lot of great open-source software.
This might become a very well supported SoC.

Here's my video.
